Abell 370

Abell 370: To create this image, I downloaded some files from the Hubble Legacy Archive website and used these three filters: f814w / f625w / f475w. I processed everything with Pixinsight. Abell 370 is a galaxy cluster in the constellation Cetus and is the most distant of the clusters catalogued by Abell. Its nucleus is composed of several hundred galaxies. As a very massive object, it generates a gravitational lensing effect that in 2002 led to the discovery of HCM-6A, a remote galaxy approximately 12.8 billion light-years away.
